Pentax K50, Questions,... and Comments Requested.

Hi Folks,

I'm basically a mirrorless photographer, strongly preferring EVFs to OVFs. So, I'm not sure why, but I find myself hankering for a K50. I had a K50 before, then a K70(?) which just had more bells and whistles. I then moved on to Sony.

My files show the K50 took great JPEGs with what was apparently a Sigma 18-250mm lens. I recall enjoying the K50, it' size, simplicity and ability to use AA batteries in a pinch.

As I recall, the K50 has IBIS, so I could use a non stabilized lens. I'm guessing I could also use a stabilized lens if I turned the IBIS off?

Is there another option for a versatile lens like the 18-250? Are there any that are WR?

There are many fine K50s with low shutter count on eBay. I'm guessing I'll have one soon.

Any comments about the camera or lenses greatly appreciated.

Jack
